Alumni Spotlight: John Reisert Hiking the Appalachian Trail

Over the course of six months, John Reisert '22 - a member of the men's swimming team while at Bard - hiked the Appalachian Trail. Bard Athletics caught up with Reisert about his hike and how being a student-athlete at Bard College helped him with the mental challenges he faced during the experience. Reisert emphasized the advantage of having the hiking trails through the Catskills near Bard College, further motivating him to hike the whole Appalachian Trail.
